Doctor's answer (2)
Dr. Liu Shilei
For patients with hypovolemia, nursing interventions should begin with educating the patient about the causes of fluid deficit and the planned treatment approach. Fluid replacement therapy is the primary treatment modality, and the duration of therapy should be tailored according to the patient’s clinical course. During fluid resuscitation, close monitoring of urine output, skin turgor, blood pressure, and other vital signs is essential to assess hemodynamic stability; subsequent comprehensive management should be guided by these observations.
